Molg is building robotic systems that make electronics manufacturing circular, working with hyperscalers and leading electronics manufacturers to automate hardware design, manufacturing, disassembly, repair, reuse, and recovery. The company uses robotics, computational design, and AI to transform e-waste into resilient, data-driven supply chains.
In this role, you will join a cross-functional team of software, robotics, and hardware engineers to build and own the infrastructure, tooling, and deployment systems powering Molg's robotic microfactories and software platforms.
Key responsibilities include:
• Design, build, and maintain CI/CD pipelines supporting rapid, reliable deployment across robotics, embedded, and on-premise systems
• Collaborate with software and robotics engineers to containerize workloads using Docker/Orbstack, ensuring consistent environments from development through production and factory-floor deployments
• Develop and maintain automated build, test, and release pipelines, integrating hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and software-in-the-loop (SIL) test stages for robotics system validation
• Establish robust monitoring, alerting, and observability across Molg's fleet of deployed robotic systems and on-premise infrastructure
• Partner with QA and engineering teams to define quality gates in CI/CD pipelines and catch regressions before production
• Manage and improve developer tooling, local dev environments, and internal platform services to maximize engineering velocity
• Drive security best practices across infrastructure—secrets management, access control, vulnerability scanning, and network security for on-premise systems
• Administer and maintain local networking infrastructure including switches, VLANs, firewalls, and machine-to-machine communication across the factory floor
• Respond to and resolve infrastructure incidents, conduct post-mortems, and implement lasting fixes
• Contribute to a culture of automation, building systems to eliminate manual repetition
The role reports directly to the Director of Process Engineering. Molg is a 100% in-person team collaboratively working in an industrial space in Sterling, VA, featuring robots, CNC milling machines, 3D printers, and tools for building and testing products. The team is hands-on and collaborative with big ambitions, expecting autonomy and self-driven work completion. As a growing startup, priorities may shift with customer or business requirements.
REQUIREMENTS:
• 5+ years of industry experience in DevOps, platform engineering, or site reliability engineering with demonstrated ownership of production infrastructure
• Proficiency with CI/CD tooling such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar—including pipeline design, secrets management, and artifact management
• Strong experience with containerization using Docker and Docker Compose—building, deploying, and managing containers across on-premise environments
• Hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code tools (Ansible, Terraform, or equivalent) managing on-premise servers and networked systems
• Solid scripting and automation skills in Python and/or Bash
• Experience administering Linux systems in a production environment—server provisioning, hardening, storage, and maintenance
• Familiarity with monitoring and observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, ELK, or similar)
• Strong networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, VLANs, DNS, VPNs, firewalls, and local area network administration
• Strong communication skills and bias toward documentation
• Ability to work in-person at Molg HQ in Sterling, VA
• Experience supporting embedded or robotics systems, edge deployments, or industrial environments is a strong plus
